Today Lindsey and Evie welcome one of their best friends in the photography industry, the queen of adventurous elopements and an advocate for the outdoors, Abbi Hearne. Abbi is an adventurer, outdoor advocate, climber, skydiver, and photographer based in the Utah desert. She and her husband Callen run The Hearnes Adventure Photography, specializing in intimate weddings and elopements all over the American west but mainly in Moab, Yosemite National Park, and Alaska. They lived on the road full time for three and a half years and recently bought a house in Moab where they now spend Spring and Fall while still traveling 6+ months of the year. Abbi has built her business and lifestyle around adventure and time in the places she loves most. While her business thrives she emphasizes her own love of the outdoors, trying to never become "too busy" to enjoy life outside of work! The Hearnes are at the top of their niche, often setting the course for others pursuing adventure wedding photography, and have done so in non-traditional ways that go far beyond the tempting all-in mentality of early entrepreneurship. They have redefined the world of elopements, pushed the boundaries of adventure in wedding clothes, and done so while falling even more in love with the environment and the landscapes that drew them to this business in the first place. They dive ALL into how Abbi navigated her wedding photography business from Houston, Texas shooting big weddings to what she's known for now: serving the niche of epic, high end, adventurous elopement weddings. They discuss practical ways she raised her pricing over time, how she became a lover and advocate for protecting the outdoors, AND how to balance the leave no trace stance as a photographer whose job it is to shoot in the outdoors. Abbi brings such a unique and NECESSARY perspective to being a destination wedding photographer. If you're a photographer who has always dreamed of traveling and shooting destination elopements in especially beautiful places, this episode is a MUST listen.
